Years F-6 

Welcome to the final term of 2026!

Our window for the term bears a great message for everyone, and it is not simply about being successful in the classroom, it extends to life in general. 

Welcome Back Miss Godkin Briggs!

We welcome Miss Godkin Briggs back after her travels last term and congratulate her and Bronty on their engagement. The 5/6 class have really enjoyed hearing about her experiences. 

It was great seeing all the smiling faces of students back after the break and hearing all their stories of what they did. It actually feels like we have been back for more than a week with so much going on.

STOMP 

Stomp sessions have been a very energetic and positive start to term. Issy has returned to Charlton and has put everyone through their paces each day. What a great week they have all had! Today was the spectacular finale, and what a wonderful crowd they had to perform in front of. Thanks parents and friends for coming along to see our performance! 

We also did our part for cleaning up Charlton in lieu of Clean Up Australia Day, and in preparation for the Charlton show. It was great to see students displaying respect for the environment by removing the rubbish, and did we find some things we did not expect to. 

This term Walter has been selected to participate in the Primary Numeracy VHAP program. Congratulations to Wally on being selected. He will join online sessions each Friday, beginning next week. We hope he gains from and enjoys the experience. 

Term 4 has a lot happening. Year 5 and 6 students have the Calder Cricket day on Thursday the 22nd of October in Boort, then the following Thursday F-2 students have the late stay and sleepover. Permission forms are on Compass, so please get on and complete them. 

During November Years 3 & 4 students will have their Charlton Camp. Then, in December our swimming program and end of year activities will take place. Planning is underway for each of these activities, so lots of great things to look forward to. 

I encourage all students to gain a copy of the Charlton show schedule and place entries in. The show is a great community event, run by volunteers and it would be great to see our families contributing. 

Assembly

Our first F6 assembly for the term will be held next Monday, October 12 at 9am. Parent’s don’t forget to place 9am Mondays in your diaries to join us to hear from the students and celebrate their successes.
